papathrust Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Is there a way to activate the M11 hardware buttons? It seems odd that with all the other music apps I'm running ( Audio player Pro, Hiby, Jet Audio) the buttons work flawlessly without any set up.

Fitzian Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 So, not on an M11 here, but an X5iii. Using USB Audio Player Pro I DID have to enable an option in its settings to get hardware buttons to respond. In Poweramp, I have to go: Settings >Headset/Bluetooth >>Buttons >>>Respond to Buttons (Tick the slider to on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papathrust Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 @Fitzian Thank you! Feeling a bit silly now as I'd been everywhere but there. Now, if only this player sounded as good as Audio Player Pro. I think the 2 should combine for the ultimate in UI and sound. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 @papathrust There are a tons of audio options to play with. For example you could try different output methods (Hi-Res), adjusting the EQ settings, and lots of other tweaks in the Audio settings menu.

papathrust Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 @andrewilley Oh that I do, and the more recent improvements to the EQ have made this my favorite player, hands down. Working with bass down below 30hz and tweaking some upper mids is where real magic happens with my Andromeda SS. That, and a touch of Stereo Expand is icing on the cake. Yet still, I feel there is a touch more dynamics, clarity and separation with the USBAPP. Poweramp is a just a tad more analog sounding to me. It's a wonderful thing having the choices we do!

Neutron was less than fun for me and it fell out of the mix. I used to think all the apps were very close , or, in that with tweaking things you could make them virtually identical in sound. I still do by and large feel that way, with APP the exception. One thing I like to do is get an app to sound it's absolute best with whatever means available, then do the same with another, and then back to back compare. Then I'll back it up and bring things back to stock , or default, making sure volumes are close as possible......EVERY SINGLE TIME Audio Player Pro comes out ahead in dynamics, clarity, definition and punch. I'll add that the APP eq is outstanding (soundwise) and the difference is always more noticeable when comparing players with EQ engaged . It's a bit of a pain to use , but in the end I'll get the Andros at pure bliss and I'm close with with Poweramp but not quite there. (sheer determination, says I'll get there) Poweramp, Jet and Hiby all pull ahead with being able to tweak the soundfield , YET, Poweramp is so much better at the entire experience that I use it 10 to 1 over the others. I'm using the Aurora skin which I like a bit more than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiedRied Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It seems that both Neutron and Audio Player Pro have got a parametric equalizer and some headphones-frequency-response-correction, in Audio Player PRO as an in-app-purchase ("tonebooster"). So the main difference, practically speaking, is the user interface ? And that experience seems to decide the matter for most users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 A parametric EQ will be coming to PA (and the separate EQ app) at some point. In fact internally that's pretty much how the current EQ operates, but currently with fixed band settings from the user side. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papathrust Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 @andrewilley I can tell you that when I first discovered the latest upgrade to the EQ , I let out some kind of joyful sound that alarmed my wife. My only nitpick: I would like to get .5db adjustments with a tap as opposed to the current 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
